The best documentary filmmaker of our time interviews Errol Morris.
Yes, the very best.
BlurryBigfoot There is no contest.
I love Adam Curtis but he said on the CONCOVO! Forum 2018 that he's not a film maker but a journalist. Errol Morris is one of the greatest documentarist ever but what he did with Thin Blue Line was to let a genie out of the bottle that has not shown signs to go back into it.
Is there a longer version of this video? It seems this was edited.
I have just watched Adams excellent film 'Bitter lake' about the meeting of King Faisel and president Roosevelt
in 1945. I never watched any of his films before and they will certainly change your opinion about world events
as they seem to just get more and more confusing as the war in Syria has shown.
I shall be watching more of Adams films in the future they are certainly worth watching if you want a clearer line
cut through all the shite that we are fed on the worlds stage.
Absolutely true. in 2011 I was getting confused at the inconsistencies and hypocrisies in MSM, in general and the fluffy memories of those around me. His series the Trap and The Mayfair set helped me to unravel so much. I do wonder if Curtis has himself has forgotten /or simply fails to recognise the manipulative nature of the Corporations and the think tanks that consolidate their interests while pushing divisive ideas into the population. My only explanation is that he is himself embedded within the BBC.
Errol Morris The Fog of War is worth a watch
@@thearno2885, thanks for the heads-up Mick.
When I first saw Century of the Self I had my mind blown, so much respect for Morris too (Hamilton’s dad)
Why is this edited like a comedy
Timing.
Errol Morris confuses subjectivity with arbitrarity.
I clicked on this hoping to hear from Adam Curtis, but enjoyed just the same.
100% of people clicked on this to hear Adam Curtis
the part about objective truth reminds me of when C.S.Lewis was famously embarrassed by Anscombe at Oxford
0:52 "The term investigative journalism puzzles me. What else would it be ? If it didn't involve some kind of investigation." You've inadvertently hit the nail on the head; anything that isn't the default for journalism; investigative, is client journalism approved of by those with political power masquerading as critique but never actually changes the system or threatens its primacy in any way. Like Frankie Boyle says; its a bit of internal establishment feedback. And an establishment cannot criticise itself effectively due to inherent bias, it can only effectively be criticised by someone that is at the margins who is not everyone's 'friend' in the industry. Adam Curtis is polite and friendly but he isn't really mainstream; he's not friend with all of the people in the industry, he is in the industry in that he makes films, but the BBC seems rather embarrassed about the fact he's on there, as its mainly online they put him and not on prime time slots anymore. But the viewers don't see Curtis in that manner, quite the opposite really.
Hard call, to film an interview with Errol Morris!
I meant in the production of Curtis's films, based on what he said.
Was the quote from the Sun or Daily Mail by any chance?
The thing he said at the end about truth was really cool.
Well, there are some truths, and there are some other truths...
I'm trying to be funny. Wait for laughter...
Wish I was in the audience. Always could use more Curtis though.
"I dont think journalism is in decline"
3 years on, do you still believe this?
@@dennisclapham7540 and 9 years on ...
@@evafaym The clip may be over 9 years old, but the comment was 3 years old. I first discovered Adam Curtis's work about 10 years ago, The Trap trilogy. His work has helped me to make sense out of a world that is shaped to keep the population on the back foot.
@@dennisclapham7540 Agreed. He is well ahead of the curve... so valuable.
More likely they were just pushed for time. Otherwise why commission his films in the first place? They've been very accomodating to him for over 20 years, his films go out at a weekday peak time on BBC2, they are expensive to make, not least due to clearing all the music and clips. I cannot think of any other terrestrial channel that would do this.
Your ignorance and lies are ridiculous. Prick.
3:20... Oh, That's been at work for a LONG time... But let's not think on THOSE questions.
Morris keeps looking at the audience as though he expects praise and adulation and the audience looks as though they're waiting for him to say something of substance.
I found him eloquent in an unpretentious, earthy way and the audience seemed subdued but fully engaged. His delivery has a tinge of Catskills, but I think that's just his natural tone.
1:35 I think he's much more in this films than that question supposes...

His camera broke on purpose.
What makes you say that?
Divine intervention@@cobracommander8133
If the camera did not break down, Morris would not have gotten the taped confession@@cobracommander8133
10:45
is that ghislane maxwell at 6:12? now that would be something.
so many statements & questions from Curtis are so loaded
Wow he is insufferable
This is the same Erroll Morris who seriously accepts that Donald Trump actively conspired to overthrow the government on Jan. 6 🤣
Which is true you deluded right wing failure.
Right, right, right. No fake electors at all.
